Superjail! (adult swim show)
 

Anyone watch it? New Adult Swim cartoon. It's pretty good.

I think I mentioned it on another thread about a year ago when talking about the pilot episode. It was awesome... never saw anything else.

Don't really follow adult swim at all anymore, though I barely did before.. the last "block" I saw of it was terrible, about 6 or more months ago..

Bah. It's

on par with 12 oz. mouse.

12 oz mouse is brilliant though, easily the best adult swim show ever. It was like the PERFECT adult swim show, it just wasn't as flashy and crazy as their other shows (which was the point) so no one liked it. Probably the only show on adult swim to deserve any sort of hype, 12 oz mouse was a work of genius.

Only if you're stoned out of your gourd.

And I can't smoke reefer anymore.

I don't think I've ever watched a television show stoned outta my gourd.

I've watched plenty of tv fucked up on acid, mushrooms, and robotussin though, and lemme tell ya!...

Superjail! is way better than 12 Oz Mouse.

It's one of the only Adult Swim shows I've ever noticed for having exceptional animation, instead of being the other way around.

I read somewhere about a year ago that the people who did the animation for superjail did the animation for "who was in my room last night?" Video by butthole surfers.

There's actually a scissor shock song I did directly after seeing the pilot episode and I called it "promise shank" in tribute..

I saw an episode online, and it was rather disturbing. Funny, but just a liiiiiittle too much violence for my taste.

I love superjail. The animation is so nuts, it's funny, and the theme song rocks. I really hope they keep it going for a few more seasons.

Superjail was funny as hell. Like he said^^^ it was disturbing, but oh so good.

Anyone see the dream machine episode? man that episode is fucking intense.

superjail is awesome

It is. It's 11 minutes of the hardest hallucinogens

I ended up catching the rest of this series and really catching up with adult swim in general after my initial post. Obviously, XAVIER: RENEGADE ANGEL, DELOCATED, and THE MIGHTY BOOSH are 3 of the best shows I've ever seen in the history of television. Nothing will ever beat 12 Oz Mouse though...

As far as Superjail is concerned.. I have a burnt season 1 dvd :) I like the show, though I don't think the storylines or the concept is that great. I mainly just love the fucking animation! Jesus, there's like 100 interns on that show, drawing all 'dem crazy-ass characters. There's so much shit going on, too much shit. It's hard to watch at times. Regardless of the quality of the show itself, the animation is almost impossibly great and it's hard not to enjoy it on that level alone.

Having said that, the "cult member" episode is fucking amazing, from top to bottom.

Is that show cancelled?

No. It takes like a thousand years to animate one episode. Season 2 is being worked on.

My biggest problem with the show is that the episodes are all pretty samey, and the characters are lame. Lots of people get killed, the warden is a jerk, the twins cause some shit, the end. I know character development isn't really key, but a lot of the jokes fall flat. The general insanity is its most endearing (and hard-to-watch) quality. I just watch an episode and don't know what exactly I'm supposed to be "enjoying", but the animation is just soooo fucking insane and awesome that I can't help but watch. Still, I NEVER reccomend watching every episode in a row. Maybe that was one of my problems with the show. Talk about a migraine :)

Still, a good show overall. I hope they do it forever. Way better than most of the dreck they show (DRINKY CROW?! Also, Tim and Eric is almost always lame, but I liked Tom Goes to the Mayor, and Eric used to play in Ink and Dagger, so they get my respect)...

By the way, I just preordered the dvd:



Just in time for Thanksgiving. Seasons 1 and 2, on amazon now for only like $17! Fuck!

Drinky Crow is fucking stoopid. My friends like it...but I dunno. Doesn't entertain me. Neither does renegade. Though I did catch one where his mom's brain was taken out and lost or somethin' and that actually entertained me for a while...I like it.

Trust me, if you actually sit down and watch xavier: renegade angel and block out anything else going on, and just focus on the insane stream of jokes... I mean... here, hang on.. lemme pull up my essay..

You're likely to hear a lot of criticism for this show, and with good reason: People often become frustrated when faced with things they don't understand -- and it certainly doesn't help that the show is purposely abrasive, with unlikeable characters, a million sight gags/puns/lines hitting you a second, and the worst "art style" imaginable.

However, the abrasiveness is part of the humor, and that's PFFR's whole thing (look at Wonder Showzen or some of their music): Alienate people as quickly as possible so you can leave the people truly looking beyond the surface to find brilliant, unique art. And with Xavier, what you have is a show not for the masses at all -- and certainly not for the typical Adult Swim set. This is a total work of GENIUS, and I don't throw that word around very often....

Surreal, bizarre, seemingly-100% nonsensical at times... but so, SO unbelievably consistently hilarious, intelligent, and clever. Have you seen a television show lately that you could describe as "mindblowing"? Probably not. Well, this is your show. It's probably way too intelligent for the average Adult Swim viewer... hell, it's probably way too intelligent even for the people who enjoy the show! There's ALWAYS some new line to pick up on. I've watched some episodes 10 times and still catch new things. It's hard to describe in detail how absolutely INSANE this show is!

But if you're the typical Adult Swim fan, you may want to pass on this one... however, if you're into the films of Lynch, Giuseppe Andrews, Jodorowsky, etc. or the music of The Residents, Harry Partch, Captain Beefheart... you know, the truly bizarre and "outside" part of the entertainment world... you will most likely love this exploration of existentialism and absurdity. This show is probably the most insanely and violently brilliant thing on television. Ever. So unbelievably packed with sight gags and clever quips, an 11 minute episode has more energy and ideas than entire seasons of pretty much every other show you can think of.

Never have I seen an animated series explore these themes. It attempts so much with what little it has. It's not random at all... one little line has layers and layers of depth. I'll admit it's probably a bit hard to take at first (as any truly groundbreaking art is), but remember that it's just a show that makes fun of the dangers of spirituality. With that in mind, you should be able to see the beauty. Personally, I think this is without question the most brilliant thing I've seen in forever, and I've fallen so hard in love for it that it's ridiculous. I've actually TURNED ON MY TELEVISION lately, just to watch this show. Will most people like it? Probably not. But if you want something truly unlike anything you've ever seen, get this immediately.

hmmm

superjail is fantastic.

it is for the animation, but i get the feeling they understand what their strongsuit is.

no sir i dont like it

I don't really like AS a lot of the time, but sometimes I do. Superjail is weird and gross and creepy, but I also like it for that reason. But I haven't watched Adult Swim for months and can't really remember what I thought about it beyond that.

u probably thought it was filld with dickcheese for potheads
i dont understand adult swim pursonally
to me its noise for television
think about it
its harsh and all over the place and theres static when i turn the television on and off
its crazy and loud and like a million shitty things are happening
but it doesn't move me maaaaaaaan

You talking to me?

best movie ever

Pretty much.
